Chapter 28 Twenty-seven, inform

"That old man must have known that the murderer who killed me was Mr. Iwamura. He didn't just see Mr. Iwamura in the oak forest, he must have known everything." Walking out of the library, Mr. S said to me like this.I had the copy of "Judgement of Sex" under my arm and finally got it out. "There must be some reason for not telling the truth. That's why I told Daofu-kun the name of this book. The old man must be expecting Daofu-kun to expose Mr. Iwamura's crimes for him." I also agree with this point of view. "However, what do you say is the reason?"

"Maybe he was threatened by Mr. Iwamura, or he is not sure about his thoughts..." Mr. S's voice became weaker and weaker. On the side of the road, a gourd flower blooms with white flowers.It's so late.It may be that reading books in the library takes up most of the time. "Master Dao, no matter what, we can only rely on us. Although we don't understand why the old man didn't tell the police about Mr. Iwamura himself, but no matter what, he entrusted this matter to you. And there is Regarding the badge, if Iwamura-sensei finds out that you sneaked into his house, then we will run out of time."

yes.I said this myself yesterday. The book under his arm seemed to grow heavier. "There is a phone call." Mei Xiang said.In front of you is a telephone booth. "That's right, Mr. Dao. Just call the police station here and tell them about the novel." "But, how do you explain it? Did you tell everything about the old man?" "Well, it's best not to say it. If the old man has other reasons and doesn't want to tell the police in person, then it's better to use the name Gutian..." "Kose." "Anyway, don't mention the name. Just say that you noticed the book yourself. There's nothing unnatural about it, right?"

"Yeah—well, make a call." Making up my mind, I walked into the phone booth.Taking out the wallet from his pocket, there happened to be a ten-yen coin inside.I took off the receiver and dropped the coin in. "Is it enough to dial one one zero?" "The two policemen didn't leave your contact information?" That's right, Officer Tani-o once gave me a business card, and it's in my wallet now.I found the business card that had been soaked in water, and dialed the number printed on it.There was only one sound, and a woman's voice came.I said my name and asked her to connect me to Officer Tanio.The waiting music of "Edelweiss" rang on the other end of the phone, and the woman's voice came again.

"Gu Wei seems to be going to N Elementary School. Are you at home now? I'll let him contact you right away." "Ah, no need. I'm from N Elementary School. I'll go find him." If you call my family and my mother answers, it will be another trouble.I put down the receiver. "Why do you say you want to go to school? What if you meet Iwamura-sensei? How dangerous!" Hearing what Mr. S said, I suddenly realized.Oops!Totally forgot. "What should I do, call again? But I have no money." "Oh, forget it. In front of the police, it is impossible for Iwamura-sensei to do anything outrageous..."

I was undecided in my heart, but I still walked to the school step by step.In the end, we came to a conclusion, that is, it is better to be in a school where there are more people around than to meet Mr. Iwamura suddenly somewhere one day. "But, Mr. Daofu, once you meet Mr. Iwamura, you must not leave the police." "Understood." We went home on the way and left Mei Xiang at home.Because Mr. Iwamura met Mika yesterday. Walk across Tsukiki Avenue and come to the school.By this time the sun had begun to gradually set in the west. We walked into the dimly lit teaching building.The entrance hall and the corridors extending to the left and right were very silent, and my shadow was reflected on the floor tiles. I suddenly and strongly realized that although I was with Mr. S, I was actually alone.

"Go to the teacher's office and have a look." I nodded and walked in along the corridor on the first floor.The door to the teacher's office was closed, but a white light could be seen through the small frosted glass window, so someone must be in the office.I stood at the door and was about to knock when I heard a familiar voice from inside. "Oh, sorry for bothering you all the time. If there is anything else, we will contact you again." With a bang, the door opened.The person who came out raised his hands with a "wow". "—Ah, it's Daoist Lord. Why are you here?"

It's Officer Tanio.He raised his hands in a gesture of shouting long live, squinting his eyes and smiling at me.Behind him is Officer Zhuli.A sense of security suddenly rose in my heart. "I called the number on the business card and heard that you are coming to the school." "Ah, I called, thank you.——what's the matter?" Officer Tanio put his hands on his knees and bent down to look at my face. "Well, I, I noticed one thing, I think..." "Dorph! What are you doing here?" As soon as I heard that voice, I suddenly became like a stone.It was Iwamura-sensei who was peeping over from behind the two police officers.

"It's getting dark, did you come alone? Didn't I tell you, be careful!" I could hear anger lurking in Iwamura-sensei's tone.I couldn't say anything for a while, I just felt that my whole body became cold from my fingertips. "Okay, sir. It's rare that this boy is here." Officer Guwei comforted him from the side.Teacher Iwamura's expression softened a little, and he sighed while hugging his elbows, but his eyes suddenly moved to the right side of my body, his expression changed suddenly, his eyes widened, and his lips were tightly pursed.Iwamura-sensei's gaze fell on the book held in my right hand.I really regret not putting it in the bag.But it was too late.

"So, Mr. Dao, what did you notice?" Officer Yanwei turned to me again. Behind him, Mr. Iwamura was still staring at the book in my hand, and would glance at my cheek from time to time, with anger and anxiety mixed in his expression. "Is there anything not to say?" Officer Tanio kept staring at my face. "No, it's not. It's nothing important either..." "Let me ask him." Mr. Iwamura said. "He was a kid and he was always going to be nervous with the police." "It's also nervous to face me." Officer Guwei turned his head, patted his cheek, and smiled.Officer Zhuli also laughed.Iwamura-sensei laughed the loudest.

"I'll let you guys know the results later. ——I'm an expert at this, and I'm better at dealing with children. Although I say I'm a bit of that." "Of course, of course." Officer Tanio straightened up and patted me on the shoulder. "Then you should have a good talk with Iwamura-sensei." "But……" When he was hesitating how to answer, Mr. Iwamura suddenly said a lot of inexplicable words. "Oh, what are you holding in your hand? Isn't that the book that the teacher lent to S? Ah, you borrowed it from S, right? Something happened to S, I don't know what to do with this book, right? Okay Well, then return it to the teacher. Haha, is this the thing? But ah, why did you notice one thing, you. You always speak so exaggerated." Officer Tanio looked at me for a while, then at Mr. Iwamura for a while, then pouted and raised his eyebrows. "It's a book." The voice seemed a little disappointed. "That's all. Mr. Constable, the boy always exaggerates everything, and it's very annoying. Of course. He didn't mean any harm himself." Teacher Iwamura said to the two police officers with a smile. "That's it, Mr. Police, it's hard work. It's getting late, so I'll take the boy home." "That's right, it's getting dark. We don't feel relieved to let the child go home alone at this time. I'll leave it to you." Officer Tanwei walked past me and walked out of the slightly dark corridor.Behind him, police officer Zhuli also followed. "Iwamura-sensei, take your leave." "Okay. If there is any situation, I will contact you immediately. Because even if it is some trivial matter, we laymen don't know whether it will help the progress of the case, so I ask you to judge." "Yes. Teacher, you are quite right." The figure of the police officer gradually moved away.I stared blankly at their backs. "Doffer!" A completely different, deep voice suddenly sounded. "come over!" I walked over as directed by the voice.The teacher's office was empty.I desperately searched for other teachers, but there was no one else in the office. "Everyone else has gone back." Iwamura-sensei seems to have guessed my thoughts. "Just went back. Now it's just me and you here." Iwamura-sensei took a step towards me, and I involuntarily backed away. "What about that book?" "No, nothing..." "No. What do you want to say to the police?" The voice seemed to be trying to restrain something, and it was extremely slow.Drowsy.Expressionless eyes. "nothing……" "Didn't you say you noticed something?" "No, it's not. It's not a big deal either?" "It's actually a big deal, right? A very important thing, right?" Iwamura-sensei's huge body approached me little by little.Suddenly, he raised his right hand and stretched it towards the wall.There is a light switch on the wall.Snapped!Iwamura-sensei pressed the switch with his palm and made a loud noise.Then the lights went out.Because the back is facing the sunset outside the window.Iwamura-sensei's figure became pitch black. "You want to show that book to the police, Dolph!" Before I could answer, Iwamura-sensei snatched the book from my right hand and held it in front of his eyes. "Ah, you already know that this is my novel." Mr. Iwamura turned the book over and looked at the back cover. "Library. Well, that's it. Who told you?" Those expressionless eyes stared at me. "Who told you that?" "That. As you said, teacher, I, I'm in the library..." "Not that! You might find out from the library that I am the author of this book. But who told you there was such a book? You wouldn't know it yourself! A schoolboy wouldn't know it." This kind of novel!" Iwamura-sensei approached my face and asked repeatedly: "Who told you?" The beard and the unevenness of the skin were clearly visible. "Don't want to say, do you?" I could neither nod in agreement nor shake my head in denial, but my mouth was tightly shut, my body stiffened, my knees trembling.The whole body seems to have turned into a huge heart, and the hands, feet, inside the ears, and the depths of the eyes are all beating.With the rhythm of agitation, Mr. Iwamura's figure became bigger and smaller in my sight. "Okay, I'll return this book to the library. You just forget about this book! Don't think about saying anything useless to the police, understand?" Mr. Iwamura turned his back to I, back in the orange room, seemed to throw the book on my desk, and then turned back in front of me.The face was like a black shadow. "Understood?" I nodded and ran out of the teacher's office.
